Autolytic debridement is a wound care process that uses the body’s natural enzymes and moisture to break down and remove dead or damaged tissue from a wound. This method promotes healing by maintaining a moist wound environment, typically through the use of specialized dressings such as hydrocolloids, hydrogels, or transparent films. Autolytic debridement is generally painless, selective to nonviable tissue, and commonly used for pressure ulcers, burns, and chronic wounds with minimal infection. Regular monitoring is important to ensure proper healing and to detect signs of infection or complications.
